Lunacy Board Album-fest
25 June 2008
Mick's latest venture has produced some tangible results - not just an album, but THREE of the little critters!
The Lunacy Board are releasing their "Eponymous Debut" on 13th July, followed by their "Difficult Second" on the 14th and their soundtrack album, "Stockholm" on the 15th. Just to make it more interesting they'll actually be writing recording and publishing the 2nd album in a single day, which will be webcast live.
The 2nd album will be available as a free download, but a special pre-order offer is available on their website at www.lunacyboard.com
